METHOD IN WHICH A MOBILE STATION RECEIVES INFORMATION ON A PERIPHERAL LEGACY BASE STATION IN A LEGACY SUPPORT MODE

摘要

The present invention relates to a broadband wireless access system, and more particularly, to a method in which an advanced mobile station efficiently acquires information on a peripheral legacy base station in a mobile communication system in which a legacy system and an advanced system coexist. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method in which a mobile station receives, from a serving base station operating in a mixed mode, information on a peripheral base station in a mobile communication system in which a legacy system and an advanced system coexist comprises: a step of receiving a second message containing time information for receiving, through a second region of the serving base station, a first message broadcasted through a first region of the serving base station; and a step of receiving the first message through the first region of the serving base station using the time information. The first message contains system information on the base station existing near the serving base station and supporting only the legacy system and/or on the first region of the base station existing near the serving base station and operating in the mixed mode.
